MOONCHILD SANELLY
Announces Signing to Transgressive Records & Shares New Single “Bashiri”- Watch The Video HERE
“Moonchild Sanelly oozes star quality” – The Guardian
Moonchild Sanelly is South Africa’s “Queen of Gqom” – a superstar with a flow so unique it’s earned her recent collaborations with Beyoncé, Die Antwoord, Gorillaz, Diplo and Wizkid. Now stepping out with Transgressive Records, Moonchild Sanelly is excited to have the global spotlight on her and take her electrifying music and unique style to an International audience.
Today she shares brand new single “Bashiri” – a banger that ribs preachers who use the church for capital gain. Moonchild Sanelly explains, “Bashiri is a song inspired by a woman’s testimony in a church where the pastor is treated like a god whilst monetizing religion. People pay for ‘miracle oil’ whilst the pastor lands at the service in a helicopter, being treated like God himself despite taking money from his congregation.”
This song is from the perspective of a Bashiri disciple whose husband was cheating. In the song, this woman is lamenting her relationship and takes her husband to her pastor, who promises that he can perform a miracle to make her husband faithful. Which is ridiculous because infidelity is not solved through prayer and tithing.”
On signing to Transgressive she says: “I’m super excited to finally find a label that ‘gets it’ and is ready to fly my message across the world. It’s about to get Globally LIT. I’m excited AF.”
Transgressive on signing Moonchild Sanelly: “Uncompromising, groundbreaking and immediately distinctive, as soon as you’ve encountered Moonchild, you won’t forget it. Easily one of the most intoxicating voices, writers, performers and spokespersons we’ve ever had the pleasure of welcoming to the Transgressive family. It’s gonna be a trip.”
